Production information

Producer: Soho Wine Co

An exciting project from New Zealand, the Soho Wine Company produces wonderful wines with exciting, contemporary branding. Owned by New Zealander Rachael Carter, the family owned vineyards produce fruit of an extremely high quality in three of New Zealand’s wine regions: Marlborough, Central Otago and Waiheke Island, with the wines from each region made by three of the country’s leading winemakers.

Production note

The grapes are hand-harvested and immediately whole bunch pressed for gentle extraction of juice. The juice is then cool fermented in French oak barrels (25-50% new, depending on the year). The wine is left on the lees in the barrels. After 9 months in oak with no further handling, the wine is blended, finished and bottled.

It’s time to reflect on the year that was and look ahead to what the New Year might have in store for the UK On Trade. Our customers, sales teams and award-winning market insights team picked eight top wine trends to look out for in 2018.
